adding new font android application

Question

I'm trying to add a custom font to my android application. I've added the font under 'assets' folder. I've come across code that allows you to add it programmatically to a specific view. I want to add the new font to my entire application and call it through my style.xml file

Answer 1

First add the font style file to the assets folder than create class file for accessing that font file.

FontStyle.java

public class FontStyle {
    public static Typeface OswaldRegular(Context context) {
        Typeface tf = null;
        try {
            tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), "Oswald-Regular.ttf");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return tf;
    }
}

Just replace your font file name into the above code and for that font style you can code into your MainActivity.java for

txt.setTypeface(FontStyle.OswaldRegular(CustomCameraActivity.this));
